*So, um…I’m not 100% sure what to say about this, except that remember what I said to Quart’s post yesterday?  That I was supposed to say that the views of the author didn’t necessarily reflect the views of the blog OWNER?  And then I was all “But they TOTALLY DO, so Yay!” or something of the sort?!  Well, these TOTALLY DON’T, so there you go.  But I’ve been begging DJ to write a guest post for AGES, so…um, yeah.  He finally agreed.  A glimpse into what my life is like.  ON A DAILY BASIS.  I’ll rebut at some point, but I PROMISE on Saturday, I’ll post about Zach & his glasses.  Pinky Swear.  And I’m a little drunk right now which may or may not be the reason I’m posting this un-edited and without many asides. PS- I was a little drunk when I set this to post. I will not be drunk in the morning when it actually posts. At least I hope.*

Has anyone heard the difference between Osama and Obama? Just kidding babe! If you haven’t heard it through the grapevine, yes, I am using my free time (also called sit on the couch and watch television time) to bring some sense to this blogging arena my lovely wife has created. When Meghan first told me about her endeavor into mommy blogs I thought it was cute. Hell, even I would come home and read her posts about what my children were doing during the day, and get to see pictures of all the crazy situations they (including my wife) got themselves into. But all of a sudden amomtwoboys became a platform for Obama supporters to spout off about how annoying conservative in-laws are, and how they push their views onto poor liberal daughter in-laws. Don’t get me wrong, I love my wife more than anybody (and yes Court, you are still my favorite sister-in-law), but your views are skewed by your pretty little heads. Don’t get mad, just open your minds and read on, and remember we are family by law, and divorces are expensive.

The first issues that come to my mind when people talk about politics and the election is not what is happening in Iraq, not what is not happening in Afghanistan, but what is happening in America, the United States, the place we actually live our daily lives. Now there are certain people in our family whose lives are pre-determined (for lack of a better term, don’t get mad). What I mean by this is the daily grind is there always. Work is there for them in the morning, the paycheck is there at the end of the pay period, and therefore the mortgage and the food is there also. That has been the American way for as long as I can remember, and that is a good thing, but somebody is paying for it. Yes, I am drawing the idea from a stereotypical government worker (i.e. the joke about the Caltrans worker and the shovel), but also from private business and the amount of power an employee has over an owner.  I guess what I’m getting at is this: Americans are forgetting that what we have as the world power, as a nation, and as individual families has been earned, not given. Society has become a bunch of “I wants”, “I needs”, not “I’ve earned”. Everything my family and I have today is due to the business my father built through his shear blood and sweat. And yes I am reaping benefits of what he started. But you can ask my wife, I work harder on my father’s business (which will soon be ours) than I ever would if I worked for somebody else, or something else.

Why is this? Because I have something to gain. I can earn as much money as I want because I have the education, and the position, but mainly because I have the want. I want to be able to pay for my kid’s college education without depending on anybody else. I want my family to have the best health care possible. I want my family to have a nice boat to have fun on. I want my family to have a nice house. I want my family to have a nice boat (whoops). I don’t need any help from the government, nor do I need to be taxed so the government can just give it to somebody who has nothing to gain. Don’t get me wrong, I pay my taxes, our business pays taxes, and I have no problem doing it. But somebody is paying for it, whether it be me, or the consumer who has to pay a boat load (yes, boat again) for everything, blame it on the government.
Now that the shit has hit the fan, let me really stir the pot. Drill the damn oil out of the damn ground, put it in an American refinery, and distribute to the gas stations, and quit fucking around. Would we be doing this dance if it were food? If we depended on others for our food, we would have had farms producing food as soon as any fluctuation in price hit. Our country needs food, and energy to survive, we should not be depending on anybody else other than ourselves (remember we don’t like free lunches) to survive. I’m not saying we should stop looking for alternative fuel sources, but in the mean time, we can fix the problem if we just get out of our own way.

So, what is the purpose of me taking time away from my 60” flat screen (and my beautiful wife and children). I really wanted to re-but Court’s attempt to explain herself for wanting to steal from the rich and give to the poor (over and over again until everybody makes the same amount of money, and has no reason to work hard) by voting for Obama, but I thought I would try to appeal to the American in everybody. A vote for Obama is equivalent to an admittance of self doubt. Doubt that Americans don’t have the ability to fend for themselves, that we must depend on somebody else to survive. I hate to bring this to every liberals attention, but that is what you are asking for, somebody (the government) to make sure you can survive. Personally, I don’t need anybody to give me anything, and I sure as hell don’t need Obama reaching into my pocket, taking from my family, to give to somebody or something that has the ability but does not have the want.

I seriously hope I did not offend every liberal reading this blog, but if I did, good. America needs to be shook up a bit, and a political post on a mommy blog spot is a good start? For my first post (and probably last) you are all thinking what an ass I am. But I love my family, and will always do what is best for them, and that is vote for McCain.
